The pros and cons of cupping

Cupping is a common health-preserving method in life. It uses heat to expel the air in the cup and then create negative pressure, which can eliminate moisture and toxins in the body. Daily use can regulate the balance of yin and yang, and can also reduce swelling and relieve pain. However, cupping is not only good for the human body, but it also has certain disadvantages. Today I will take you to understand it.

The benefits of cupping

1. Detoxification

The biggest benefit of cupping is that it can eliminate various toxins in the human body. It can allow the accumulated moisture and cold air in the body to be discharged through the surface of the skin, which can reduce the harm of these damp and hot toxic gases to the human body. After people have finished cupping, they feel particularly relaxed and their mental state will be particularly good.

2. Promote blood circulation and activate collaterals

Cupping usually applies force to some acupuncture points. It can promote blood circulation, unblock meridians and activate collaterals through external force. It can regulate the internal organs of the human body and effectively improve their functions. Regular cupping can not only make the blood flow smoothly, but also improve human health.

3. Relieve pain

It can not only promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and relieve pain, but also relieve pain, especially when people have local tissue damage, or have adverse symptoms such as lumbar disc herniation and lumbar muscle strain. Even if cupping can quickly relieve the pain caused by them, although it cannot eradicate the disease, the relieving effect is very obvious.

Disadvantages of cupping

1. Cause skin infection

Although cupping has many benefits to the human body, it should not be used excessively. Otherwise, frequent cupping will harm people's skin. In severe cases, it will induce infection and lead to various skin diseases.

2. Aggravate the condition

Cupping has only benefits and no disadvantages for most people. However, it is not suitable for people who suffer from inflammatory or hemorrhagic diseases because the music after cupping is not conducive to their recovery and may even aggravate their condition, which is not conducive to physical recovery.
